LONDON : SATURDAY EVENING. SEPTEMBER 22, 1838 The flippant friends of the Right Hon. the .President of the Board of Trade have not found it convenient to furnish us with a list of the multifarious services rendered by that Right Hon.. Gentleman to the country since he became a member of the Govern ment ;—and for the questioning of the importance of Which, we have had the slight misfortune to incur their hostility. They would fain bully us into the belief that a Minister who may be said to have slumbered at his desk for the greater portion of the last six years— who barely contrived to save his credit with' his cre tirdous Constituents by a fair attendance in Parlia ment, and - a courteous regard, through the-instrumen tality of his official subordinates, to local complaints connected with his immediate office in the Ministry, is _a prodigy of industry. But as we stated before, what had mere induStryto do with the great question at issue between the Lib era l party and Mr. Pote - L ETT THOMP SON ? We care not how busy he m a y h ave b een ; we want to know what good he has done—what ~ p ledges tirade by him to his constituents and the country has be performed ? No " Jack-in-office" was ever more industrinus than old GEORGE HOSE ; but, unfortu nately, his industry was directed to the perfection of schemes for -emptying the packets of the nation. There are Ministers, even now, whose activity, if less pernicious to the country than the official labours of I ofd ReesE, is by no means no harmless as their official stue-..ners. Do the Reformers of Manchester tl rine othetwise as regards their Right lion, representative? ' We ruler them to Ills activity in 1833—he was then in office—in voting against Mr. TENNYSON'S motion for the rr.i,e a t o f the Septennial Act—in voting in 18:37 against Mr. DuNcom BE'S motion for abolishing tne rate- paying clauses in the R e f orm Bill— ae d i n wast ing' the time of Parliament with Trade Bile, whose chief merit was, and is, that they have been found'inoperate. It bas been objected to Its that Mr. POULETT THOM SON is not more to blame than the bulk of his official colleaztics, and that the Ministry is equally guilty as regards the rkappointment of publi c exp C etat i ons. Tills is nut the fact. At no neriod w ere t h e honest Reformers disposed to flare as much confidence in the of Lords GREY, 'MELBOURNE, liberal professions and RUSSELL , as :: li en they saw them un't e w i t h themselvesire Office such professed patriots and'pOpul er it .

I n t h e Man chester T. ones of December, 1832—th e ' on l y Man eester Journal that then cordially supported hith, as it has always done .the interests of the peoplewe find the report of a speech delivered by him at a public meeting of his constituents held in the Theatre of that town, from which we take leave to quote an extract, for the purpose of refreshing the memory of the Right Hon. Gentleman's friends : I am told already, that while you have conferred upon me the distinguished honour of being your reareientatise, white selecting me upon public grounds alone, unknown and unsoli citing, you have done so on principles which are incompatible with those of the Government with which I have the lit-Mont to be connected, and which would place me in direct Opposi tion of its members. Such. - language I well knew has been used within he precinct; o f t hi s great town. The answer I would give to those who dare thess to calumniate the adminis tration to which 1 belong, is one that not only I would give. but which has received confirmation from one fir higher than I could ever ',tope to be in , the councils of my sovereign, and one standi:, g also still higher in the esteem of his countrymen.— (Cheers. ) The answer thus confirmed is this, that no Govern ment from which the confidence of the people of such commu nities as Manchester, according to the principles on which its representation has been conferred on me, is estranged, can hope to stand in this country, or, I will add, ought to stand.- (Tremendous cheers.) Gentlemen, now look to the grin ciples upon which I have been returned by you. I appear to speak them before you for the first time, though the ' n ave been represented to you by my friends, ar.' were capable, as th e y are not , of :.,,calkirg aught but truth, where would b e th e man tno - st; friends :".'ists has a right to complain, should hebe ' d eceived , :..cen they have only referred you to that which man may read as it stands recorded ? They have ren,:s•scated nothing to you which it was not in your power to ascertain. Every act of my public life stands in the history of latter years ; every vote of mire is before the public, and every speech of mine may be found, read, and weighed ; and if, Gentlemen, you have chosen me fbr aught save my past con duct, permit me to say, that you were not justified in so doing. We pause here in our extract, that we may express our entire concurrence in two points included in what we have already quoted of it. We refer to the decla ration that no Government in this country ought to stand whose Members lose the confidence of such con stituencies as Manchester ; and to the still more em phatic declaration that if the Reformers of Manches . ter chose Mr. P. THOMSON for alight but his past conduCt, they were fools for their pains. Subsequent events have proved that the President of the 13oard of Trade had even then - determined to draw largely upon his past services—that he had in some sort made up his mind to trade upon the • credit which he had - obtained with the country. as a staunch Radical Re former. We resume the extract : But what, Gentletnen, are those principles—principles that I have ever advocated—principles upon which alone you could give me your support, and on which alone I could consent to receive it—nothing save the advocacy of the only end o f goo d government, the happiness of the many.—(Cheers.) To obtain a temperate, but searching Reform of our institutions-- to remove from the face of the Church Establishment of this country those specks and deformities which disfigure its ap pearance and injure its condition—to revive and extend our national industry—to alleviate the burdens pressing upon the people—to make•the shackles fall from the limbs of the slave— ( Applause)—to give that principle to representation which it should have, and which I trust it has, but if not it ought to have, namely, the liberty for every man to give his vote con- - „i„ti ou sly.—(Loud cheers, and Shouts of " the Ballot." These, Gentlemen, are the principles that I have ever &Also ! cated, humbly, but zealously--these are the principles upon which I believe the Reform Bill to have been founded, and for Which I also believe it to be the end and the means.—( Cheers. ) I believe that by the Bill, as it now stands, we may obtain all these good ends ; but if there are any defects or deformities in that great measure, let them be examined—let them be looked into—let them be amended.--( Long continued cheering.) • Here, in all conscience, are pledges enough pledges more numerous and explicit than are usually offered by the most Liberal Ministers of the Crown. But how - were they fulfilled? In a shot t year after, Mr. POULETT THOMSON voted against the Repeal of the Septennial Act ; thus as far as in him•lay stultifying , the whole end and aim of the Reform Bill. He sub : sequently contrived to shirk the Ballot ; voted against the Repeal of the Rate-paying Clauses; and never once thought it worth his while to address a word to his constituents in explanation of his continuing to belong to a Ministry, whose or gan in the House of Commons had - turned round upon the Liberals, by declaring the Reform Bill itself a final measure. In these instances we cannot allow Mr. POULETT THOMSON'S Minigterial conduct—a Radical by natural position and by choice, a man socially devoid of aristocratical sympathies----to - escape public animadversion on the same terms as Lords HOWICK, MORPETH, and JOHN RUSSELL. He belonged to the people—he boasted of belonging to them. He referred to his own acts and professions as grounds of public confidence, and not to the deeds and hereditary policy of his family or •ancestorS. - His business habits, and intelligence as a merchant, were supposed, in conjunction with his Free Trade prin ciples, to render him better qualified for presiding at the Board of Trade than any other Liberal Member of the House of Commons. His previous opinions as to the abuses in the management of that Board. were Well known ; and consequently a complete Reform, if not a total abolition of an establishment at present worse than useless, was confidently ex pected by the Liberal party. But scarcely had the IRight Hon. Gentleman become familiar with th e routine of business at a Cabinet Council, before he was seized with that distemper so common within the precincts of Downing-street—an incurable attack of official lassitude. Ali at once the abuses which h e had for years been railing against assumed the ap pearances of mere specks upon the surface of a lumi nous hods. Removed into a new political atmosphere, he forgot the professions by which he had won the confidence and support of the horny-handed Radicals of Manchester. But if the Right Hon. Gentleman's memory has failed him, that of his con stituents is not less tenacious now than it was in 1832 ; and after the experience they have had, it is not like!: that they will ever arain trouble bins to represent them in the House of Commons. His rejection will teach an useful lesson to those Whigs, who, through him, have pr.)fessed to he convinced that no Ministry onOtt to stand if deprived of the confidence of such I constituencies as Manchester. Had Mr. PouLETT 'I no never given a bad vote, we should not the less insist upon his reje.ition at the next election. A- Radical Minister acts dishonestly and treacherously who does not keep steadily and cautiously in advance of the national progressive movement.—We have not yet done with Mr. FOC:LETT THONISON. The Report of the Railway Commissioners for Le land contains facts which well merit the attention of t h e G overn - men t, and we have no doubt Mr. SPRING ICE, in his retreat at Limerick, devotes much of his titn2 to the important topics in which it abounds, preparatory to some Government plan for employing the surplus labour of that country.. With little assist ance from the Legislature, and comparatively few great works fur internal improvement, undertaken by compan , ics or private individuals, as in England, Ire land has made wonderful advances to power and wealth within the last twenty years. The capabilities of the country, her vaq population, and her proximity to u!antl, must ever render her an object of great inte , res t to the people of this island, and our Statesmen an d 'Le i , ishture will be I,vthout excuse if they do not, by encouraging her public works, and redressing her riet~anccs, that nation, wh om Lord LYN!). ri i,tT describeds make as 'r aliens,'.' our best friend and most powerful ally. The present positi on o f part i es itr:nee,Li.ke is almost an insurmount a b le obstacle to th e a d vance .. ment of her political and municipal privile ges , b ut it more becomes the party—the majority of the House of 1 Commons—who have the command of the public I money, to use that as a counter-bah:: to tros t ev i l, and lay out a n o'' , , ,t in creating e mployment by ene.strOction of railroads and canals. Were the country intersected, like England, by these means of transport, the improvement of the waste lands would follow as a matter of course, the revenue would be in creased, we should get cheap corn in spite of the Corn laWs, and, taking the profits on canals and roads in England and France as a test of security, the Govern ment, independently of these important consideration s . would receive an ample interest for the capital ex pended. Some few of these undertakings have been losing concerns, but from returns Which we have seen, the average profits on the %% hole far exceed the usual interest obtained for money. Were a grant of money proposed for such a purpose, say a million a-year for five. years, berc can be little doubt that it would h e acceded to. The representatives of the people would find - this a much cheaper way of getting rid of a sur plus population than by emigration, or transportation, or poor laws. The Commissioners point out two lines for railways—one to the South, and the other to th e North, from Dublin, traversing the. best parts of the country ; and the estimated expense, including the ex-. pense for constructing several branch roads, does not amount to more than two-thirds of the outlay for the London and Birmingham line. That to the South, with branches to Kilkenny and Limerick, making the whole length of railroad in that line, 227 miles, they esti mate, might be completed for less than two millions and-a-half, and the expense of the Northern line, as far as Armagh, where it would communicate with the .Belfast and Armagh railroad, would at the same calcu lation not exceed two millions. At the lowest calcu tion there would be a return of from 31 to 4 per cent. interest on the outlay ; for such a small sum what incalculable advantages would to a certainty accrue to -Ireland ! Were there two great lines completed, private companies would establish branch roads in various di rections ; a frugal, active, and athletic race, at present only half employed, would find what they above all things desire—work ; and the resources of the country, and the Government revenue, would be increased to an incalculable extent. There is perhaps no country in the world where there is a surplus population so fitted for such an undertaking. The population of Ireland. is now eight millions, having increased fourfold during the last hundred years, and the wages of labour are on an average not more than 9d. per day. With such a people and such a country what might not be effected by an intelligent and active Government ? The Whigs may rest satisfied that Sir ROBERT PEEL, in the event of his returning to office, has some plan for go verning Ireland without having recourse to fire and sword as in the old barbarous times ; and as want of food is the food of agitation, and such an undertaking would would be grateful to tb'e Irish nation, may not this be one of his devices for reconciling them to a party who had so long ruled that country with a rod of iron ? • We have received Madrid Papers of the 13th inst iu which the only news consists of rumours of another change in the Cabinet... The provinces were• in a de plorable condition. It does not appear that the Go vernment had received any intimation of EspAn 7 TERO'S flight across the Ebro. The Paris Journals of Thursday are more than usually barren of political news. The return of the Minister of the Interior to the capital whence he had been temporarily absent on a!plea, of ill-health, is an event hardly worthy of notice. From the tenor of certain articles in the liberal Journals, it, would - appear that the bulk of the French people are much dissatis fied with the narrowness of the elective franchise, and that they are disposed to take active measures for its extension. The little news from Spain—and that of question able veracity—there is in these Papers, will be found among the annexed brief extracts from them : According to our letters from the frontiers of Spain, which are of the 15th, General Marota, after having convinced him. self of the retreat of. Espartero, repaired to Burjura to the King, and received his Majesty's orders. lle then set out for Durango, where his staff and eight or ten battalions were to; arrive about the same time as himself: The heavy artillery which was at Equilta, has also been sent to Durango. It is commanded by General Montenegro. The object of these movements is not yet decided. „ , . According to the letters from Madrid*, of the 12th, every thing there is in the greatest eonfusion. The new Ministers, though scarcely installed, wish to retire. It seems, too, that the representations made -by the Muncipal Council taotheaers to be on, the dang ers of the-present state of things, appears be viewed With'displeasure, and that the recital and the repe tition of ihese too well-founded complaints, is dreaded. To fs complete the embarrassment of the Government, the treasur y empty, and its distr ess i n t hi s re s p e ct seems never to have been so complete as a t thi s moment.— L a G aze tte de. France..

From Cape of Good Hope Papers, received to the 22d July CitiT TOWN, JULY 22.—Our letters from the eastern fron tier, and from Cafferland, as this is for the preceding week, represent the whole country as 'politically quiet; few depreda tions or thefts have been committed, and the only circum stance of moment is .the murder of a trader resident in Patas County. The Governor has left none of the Chiefs in doubt to what course he means to pursue in defending . his own side of the border, maintaining order, and chastising injustice. With regard to the emigrant boors, the account given in our last by a Correspondent has been confirmed... They are retreating from Dingaan; and we regret to hear, suffering dreadfully in their persons from want and the inclemency of the weather._ In the Eastern Province Government Gazette, the first number of which reached us by post, we find a minute fr,,m his Excellency, addressed to those misguided peOple, highly cre ditable to his feelings as a man, and to his judgment and sense of propriety, as the Representative of her Majesty. We transfer it with much satisfaction to our columns, and the measure it announces has been adopted:— " And let ail Men know that hencefoith, or as soon as the necessary arrangements can be completed, the Government of this Colony, in all its departments, will be conducted with due regard to the digiiity of. the sovereign, and the sacredness of the laws. Without this, the local government can never be respected, and where there is no respect authority dies of course." [lt having been represented to his Excellency the' Governori , that -great misfortunes haVe befallen " many of her Majesty's subjects who have emigrated beyond the boundaries of the Colony into the interior of Africa, that a great number of them are reduced to great distress, and that a great portion of them are desirous of returning within the limits of her Majesty's South African dominions--] " His Excellency is anxious to act upon the principles of mercy and benevolence, and to preserve from further misfor tune and total destruction so many of her Majesty's subjects. His Excellency hereby assures them, that it shall be fully and • freely allowed to all Old said emigrants, or all' seich portions thereof as shall be desirOus of returning to the colony, to. do so, and to resume their domicile and avocations, as also their rights as British subjects, without hindrance or molestation, in consequence of. the said emigration ; and he also promises to remit all pains' and penalties which may have been incurred by therm. . " His Excellency, also warns all those who have already emi grated, or may still be disposed to emigrate, as a duty he owes to the Sovereign, and to them as his subjects, that the emigra tion into the interior cannot absolve them from their allegiance as British subjects, and their responsibility as such to the laws in force in the Colony. His Excellency, moreover, assures 'them, that when the preservation of the peace and prosperity .of :the , Colony and .of the-bordering tribes, shall appear to him' to require that military possession be taken of the seaport called Natal, he will be prepared, and is determined to do so in her Majesty's name.

WESTMINSTER IiEcrISTRATION. (THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. CRAIG. ) PARISH OF ST NIARTIN IN THE FIELDS The nameof Lionel Beak appesrcd on the claimants' list for a house in Long. acre. It appeared that the man had been totally omitted' from the list in the first instance by mis take, and that a claim was afterwards made to have the name inserted ; but the claim. was not made by Mr. Beale himself, nor had he.authorised any one to make it on his behalf. Mr. Score contended, thEt in order to constitute a good claim it should be made by the claimant himself, or with his authority. _ _ _ Mr. CRAIG said in this case there was no proof that Mr. Beak had mode any:claim, and he regretted that the claim which which had been mad:• was not a sufficient one. It was his duty to know that he had been excluded, and if he wished to have hi; name inserted agaio, i e cught to have given notice. The claim aas disalluiNed . (13Pfere Mr. MyLNE.) PARISH OF ST JAMES. William Eddy cla;rned to have his name inserted f,r a house in Ileddon-street. It appeared to have been the inten tion of the cllirtiant to have his name inserted- on the scot and-lot list, but he had by mistake sent in his claim as a housebolthr. H's qualification as a scot-and lot voter was fully proved. Mr. MYLNE said this was rathrr n curious case, and if he could possibly pl-ice the name on the scot-and-lot list, he would do so. He should, howewr, consult his Learned Col le:lgue before giving a final decision: William Davis claimed to be registered for a house, No. 363, Oxford-street. • Mr. Davis proved that he had occupied for more than a year ; that the rent was more than 101. ; and that he had paid all rates and taxes. It appeared that the tax collectors, in making their return, had included the name of Mr. Davis in their list, as having paid the rates, but not having resided twelve months. A Voter inquired of the Vestry Clerk, why so many narees had been omitted from the list ?' The Vestry Clerk felt quite confident that it was by mistake. The Voter suspected there was something more-than mis take in the matter, and considered it very improper that tradesmen should be dragged from their business in this manner. The claim of Mr. Davis was then allowed. LLOYD'S SHIPPING.-(THIS DAY.) DEAL, SEPT. 21.—Wind N.

Whereas it has been most industriously circulated by the Great Monopolists, that the Queen Adelaide has only been placed on this station (to prove her proud and indisputable sway) during the short-lived migrations of - the swallow, or in other words that, at the expiration of another month, she ad herents of the Queen would be compelled to travel by the boats of the GrearMencipoly at extravagant fares, inasmuch as that Popular and Favorite Steamer, the Queen Adelaide, would be taken off and, no other supplied. Now know ye all men I 'I he proprietors, feeling confident in the discrimination and favour of the public, beg to reiterate what was announced at the beginning of the opposition, th a t temporary boats would and . should be placed on .the station, until new, and powerful boats, with every accommodation, were obtained, const: noted purposely for the comfort and conveni ence of an hitherto abused public. The Queen , Capt. Benett, will continue to r u n bet ween Boulogne and London, as usual, attended perhaps . by the Royal Sovereign, whose kind attention and exemplary conduct is only surpassed by the meanness of the spirit that actuated the parties to put him on this station. The Queen has repeatedly proved her superiority, by having beaten in speed every. other boat that the great monopoly have condescended to run with her. That she is the safest and best sea-boat, was proved on the 21st of August, 1838, by her having entered the harbour %hen the other boats were obliged to put back into the Downs. That she has less motion is sufficiently borne out by the pleasing assurance that all passengers, ladies and gentlemen (especially the former), having once travelled by her, will not go by any other boat ; 'as on the Queen, every body seems well, merry, and happy, whereas on the others, owing to their drawing so much less water, they experience, especially at sea, just the contrary effect. VIVE LA REINE! London, Sept. 20; 1838. --- The Queen leaves at half-past nine to-morrow morning. WARWICKSHIRE MA SONIC MEETING. Yesterday the Provincial Grand -Lodge of this county met a' Nuneaton. The D. P. G. M., Brother Forre of Leaming ton, and Brethren from all the Lodges in Warwickshire, at tended. After the Lodge was closed, the Brethren sat down to an excellent dinner. The usual Masonic toasts were drunk, and in addition, after a warm eulogy, the D. P. G. M. .gave the health of Brother Northouse, P.M., an:l success to the " Free Mrsons' and General Life Assurance Company." Brother Northhouse, in a speech of upwards of an hour, which was repeatedly cheered, pourtrayed the excellencies of ma sonry; its - antiquity, which could be traced to the remotest Periods of ancient ages ; the assimilation of the mytholigies of the East and cf Africa with many of its ceremonies and symbols; its principles of charity, and its character of chivalry; its vast extent " from Indus to the Pole," and the pure but inoffen `sive republicanism of its constitution, of which he gave an in teresting anecdote, communicated to him by Brother Sir Sidney Smith, who presided over twelve sovereign princes on one oceasien; Concluding by, pointing out the great advantage of the Insurance' Company as connected with it. Brother Sharpe, after strongly eulogising the same Institution, made a po.erfill appeal in favour of the intended Asylum for aged and decayed Brethren Several other toasts followed; espe cially ore from Brother Northhouse to the health of the "phi losphcr of masonry," his friend Dr. Oliver, which excited 'nue!) rpplause. Many Brethren requeited to have shares, and others to become agents for the -Insurance Company, which is like:y to be well established in this county. The vening passed away in delightful, intellectual, and masonic enthusiasm.—Leamington ChrOnicle, Sept. 20, rfriE ARTS.
